- pull the wetsuit all the way up to your waist and make sure the wetsuit knee is on your knee and that wetsuit crotch is on your crotch etc
- pull the wetsuit up and put one of your arms into a sleeve
- make sure your arm is all the way in and the armpit and shoulder of the wetsuit are on your armpit and shoulder, that makes puting your other arm in easier
- put you other arm into the wetsuit sleeve
- straighten and pull the neoprene so it is all in right place
